What is difference between electrolytic capacitor and electrostatic capacitor?

actually the truth is the difference between the electrostatic capcitor and electrolytic capacitor is the spelling.. believe it... or not!


How fast does a capacitor give off electricity?

A capacitor can release its stored energy at any rate. The rate is determined by ohm's law. It states that the current in amperes equals the electromotive force (or voltage difference of the capacitor's poles) divided by the resistance between the poles. I=E/R Current=volts/resistance


What is insulation resistance in capacitor?

ideally there will not be any resistance to the capacitor,so at this condition it should not not discharge the stored energy. but practically small resistance will be there in the capacitor so the energy stored by the capacitor will be discharged through resistance.


Sparking between contacts can be reduced by inserting a resistance?

Capacitor in parallel with contacts.


What effect does the series resistance of a capacitor used in a capacitor filter have on diode current and ripple voltage compared with an ideal capacitor of no resistance?

The effective resistance of the capacitor reduces the ripple current through the capacitor making it less effective in its function of smoothing the voltage. But if the capacitor filter is fed by a transformer and diodes, the resistance of the transformer exceeds that of the capacitor.


Do capacitors have internal resistance?

1. The capacitor has Lead resistance in series with the capacitor2. Since most capacitor use Dielectric and they have a leakage resistance and it is parallel to the Ideal Capacitor.

The effect of resistance on the rate of charging or discharging a capacitor?

If the resistance is in series with the capacitor, the charge/discharge time is extended.


What is the difference between capacitor and transistor?

transistor either increase or decrease current bt capacitor stores the energy


What is the difference between capacitor and battery?

CAPACITOR'S REACTANCE CHANGES WITH FREQUENCY WHEREAS A BATTERY'S RESISTANCE IS FIXED. ALSO BATTERY STORES ENERGY AND IS EXPRESSED IN UNITS AS AMPERE-HOURS, WHERE AS CAPACITOR STORES CHARGE AND AND IS EXPRESSED IN UNITS AS MICRO / NANO FARADS
